John O’Shea-trained three-year-old gelding Southern Lad was quite impressive in winning here. Resuming at only his second race start, he settled nicely back in second last place in the six-horse field, behind a solid pace, before improving (deep) rounding the home turn. He then sprinted quickly, hit the front at the 100m and went on to score easily. He is a horse to watch.
